Darn boys don't let me down here. You really want me to go to facebook for all my info? :-(

I'm in the process of converting my 1jz-gte to single turbo. A while ago, I already converted my ECU from the stock 1j ecu to 2jz-gte JDM to accomodate my 440cc injectors a bit better and it's been running like a champ. Now with the larger turbo the quest for some more horsepower arrives and...

A large gathering in Europe last month near and on the infamous Nürburgring in Germany. Some 80 Supras were there that weekend, and a friend of mine and I attended with our MKIII supras. The UK guys were there (Dragonball Run), The dutch supras were there (Shoarmateam.nl) and of course the...

Hi SupraClaou, An acquaintance of mine in the netherlands has done a V160 swap almost 10 years back. Everything works including speedometer and all. He's on supraforums and his name is andre. checkout a picture and his username here to send him a PM if you would want to...

thanks. In fact I have seen this video and other videos prior to installing. However I cannot see how your answer is helping me in knowing whether it is normal or not for a supra MKIII with this specific sideskirt from this specific seller to cause the door not to close as it should. Yes I...

So I have these Spec-B Sideskirts ("bomex replicas") from shineautoproject laying around. Bought them 2 years ago, from a guy who bought them from a guy. Unpainted, seemed testfitted however never actually used on a car. I testfitted them last saturday, and one seems to have been altered by...

Thanks a bunch! I will be tuning myself but just RON98 using an S-AFC, no standalone. Are you using the internal wastegate or an external one? Good luck on tuning and the numbers. I'm looking forward to seeing your results. - Marco.

Nice build! How's the HX35 been working for you in terms of spool and power? I've been searching information for swapping out my twins for a streetable single with moderate power (400hp should be enough) and the HX35 and SP6262 seem to be a good choice from what I've read and I'd really like...

valve guide seals are also somewhat worn out on mine so I have to replace them soon. other than that, since it's transplant from a soarer into my supra it's been very good to me. Maybe it's good to mention that i've replaced every gasket that you can find on the engine apart from the head...

only connect the s-afc when you have the wideband output ready to check your adjustments. preferably, have an egt probe tapped into your exhaust manifold for even more insurance. at least, that's what I did. it doesn't help fuel cut much even with my bigger injectors (440cc) i'm going to get an...

You have an r154 transmission? auto ecu's don't recognise manual gears. not even reverse. you even need to wire up the reverse lights yourself. look here: http://shoarmateam.nl/upload/JZZ30/Auto%20to%20manual%20conversion%20wiring%20with%20JZZ30%20soarer%201jz.htm if your engine turs over and...

stuck wastegates will also get you fuel cut.

Get a decent wideband meter with logging capabilities so you can get the s-afc in the good and safe ballpark too much fuel and you'll get cilinder wash, (= unburnt liquid fuel will wash away any debris from the metal that scrapes off of the piston rings and make your rings not seat well) not...

Stock Toyota parts = Denso. So when it says Denso on the sensor, 99% certain that it is the stock sensor.

Great project. Subscribed!
